Oxidized Phospholipids Induce Ceramide Accumulation in RAW 264.7 Macrophages: Role of Ceramide Synthases

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs), including 1-palmitoyl-2-glutaroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PGPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oxovaleroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POVPC) are among several biologically active derivatives that are generated during oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs).

Engineering of Glioblastoma‐Derived Biomimetic Vesicles and Their Structural and Molecular Features

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 23, 19 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biomimetic nanosystems and vesicles have arisen as a novel approach to design vesicular transport systems with diverse therapeutic potential. The ‘biomimetic’ strategy involves the integration of cell membrane components into lipid bilayers, conferring them with biological properties originating from the cell of origin. Until now, most studies

Ceramide displaces cholesterol from lipid rafts and decreases the association of the cholesterol binding protein caveolin-1

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
Addition of exogenous ceramide causes a significant displacement of cholesterol in lipid raft model membranes. However, whether ceramide-induced cholesterol displacement is sufficient to alter the protein composition of caveolin-enriched lipid raft ...

Altered ceramide acyl chain length and ceramide synthase gene expression in Parkinson's disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, 2013
ABSTRACTGenetic studies have provided increasing evidence that ceramide homeostasis plays a role in neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease (PD). It is known that the relative amounts of different ceramide molecular species, as defined by their fatty acyl chain length, regulate ceramide function in lipid membranes and in signaling ...

Extracellular Vesicle‐Transferred ATP‐Citrate Lyase Induces Monocyte Differentiation Toward Tumor‐Associated Macrophages and Fuels Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 35, 24 June 2026.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) enrich the metabolic enzyme ATP‐citrate lyase (ACLY). EV‐transferred ACLY enhances palmitate biosynthesis, increases the S‐palmitoylation and stability of multiple immune checkpoint proteins, augments the cellular immunosuppressive activity, and ultimately accelerates the malignant ...

Quantifying Fluorescently Labeled Ceramide Levels in Human Sarcoma Cell Lines in Response to a Sphingomyelin Synthase Inhibitor

open access: yesMethods and Protocols, 2019
Sphingolipid metabolism is an important process in sustaining the growth needs of rapidly dividing cancer cells. Enzymes that synthesize sphingolipids have become attractive targets in cancer pharmacology.

Neurocognitive Aging Following Acute Illness: Pathobiology and a Framework for Developing Neurotherapeutic Agents

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In this review, we discuss the scientific basis for how neurocognitive aging occurs after critical illness, including sepsis, trauma, and burns, and the clinical need to develop therapies to reduce inflammation, protect the blood–brain barrier, remove senescent cells, and enhance neuroplasticity.

Sphingomyelin synthase 2 promotes an aggressive breast cancer phenotype by disrupting the homoeostasis of ceramide and sphingomyelin

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2019
Breast cancer is the most common type of carcinoma in women worldwide, but the mechanisms underlying tumour development and progression remain unclear. Sphingomyelin synthase 2 (SGMS2) is a crucial regulator involved in ceramide (Cer) and sphingomyelin ...

Genetic ancestry–concordant ceramide metabolism and response to androgen receptor pathway inhibition in metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer

open access: yesCancer, Volume 132, Issue 11, 1 June 2026.
Abstract Background The authors observed differences in response between Black and White patients with metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who were treated prospectively with androgen receptor pathway inhibition (ARPI) in the Abi Race and PANTHER studies.

Ablation of neuronal ceramide synthase 1 in mice decreases ganglioside levels and expression of myelin-associated glycoprotein in oligodendrocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Ceramide synthase 1 catalyzes the synthesis of C18 ceramide and is mainly expressed in neurons of the brain. Results: Ablation of Ceramide Synthase 1 decreases ganglioside levels and expression of oligodendrocytic Myelin Associated ...
